A “Sex and the City” and “Friends” crossover?
Not quite, but close!
During an episode of her “Are You a Charlotte?” podcast, “Sex and the City” star Kristin Davis detailed how she was once “set up” with Friends star Matthew Perry during the late ’90s.
“I feel like it was between ‘Melrose Place,’ which I did before ‘City,’” she explained (via Page Six), adding that the two met at a “low-key” dinner party.
“So I go to this dinner party, I bring my little flowers. You know, it’s a bunch of Hollywood people. I don’t even know who all was there other than this lawyer and Matthew,” Davis continued, saying that he was “lovely” and that he sat down next to her.
The two started chatting about his hit show, as Davis explained that he was “talking about how thrilled he is, how happy [he and his co-stars] are on the set at ‘Friends.’”
And he clearly made a good impression.
“I was like, ‘Wow, he’s so happy,’” Davis remembers thinking. “I had been around ‘Melrose,’ and it wasn’t the happiest place in a way… It was stressy. There were 15 series regulars. Everyone had the feeling they might get cut. It was kind of competitive and stressy.”
